RAYNE, LA, December 12, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Lauren M. Lopez has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

A self-made, relentlessly curious leader in accounting and business management, Lauren M. Lopez embodies the rare combination of financial precision and entrepreneurial grit. Throughout her career she has operated by one guiding principle: "If you aren't learning something new every day, you're doing something wrong." When confronted with unfamiliar territory—whether complex regulatory frameworks, fleet logistics, disaster-response protocols, or cutting-edge filtration technology—she teaches herself, builds the process, and implements it at scale. This self-starter mindset has defined her trajectory from valedictorian and award-winning graduate to the indispensable CFO of two rapidly expanding companies that save lives when clean water is most urgent.

Since 2022, Ms. Lopez has served as Chief Financial Officer of both Mid South Disaster Solutions and Mid South Chemical Company. At Mid South Disaster Solutions she, along with her team, took a fledgling operation and transformed it into a national force: recruiting the core team, shifting from leased to owned modern tanker fleets, pre-positioning assets strategically across multiple states, and introducing innovative point-of-use filtration systems that protect hospitals, nursing homes, and the immunocompromised when municipal water fails. Her ability to master new disciplines overnight—logistics coordination, DOT compliance, emergency-management contracting—has repeatedly turned potential crises into seamless, life-saving responses.

Simultaneously, as CFO of Mid South Chemical Company, she steers the financial strategy for one of America's premier manufacturers of advanced water-treatment chemicals, ensuring the organization remains both profitable and positioned to supply municipalities and industry partners at a moment's notice.

Guided by her philosophy that 'there is no task too small and no challenge too large,' Ms. Lopez is the executive who will personally troubleshoot a delivery route at 2 a.m. during hurricane landfall—then transition seamlessly back to day-to-day operations.. Colleagues describe her as the leader who "wears whatever hat is needed—and usually designs the hat herself if it doesn't already exist."

Her earlier roles at Prime Restaurant Development LLC, Nick Stelly Welding and Machine, and Rotating Solutions further sharpened her expertise in process creation, cost control, and cross-functional leadership—each time stepping into uncharted responsibilities and emerging with streamlined, scalable systems.

Ms. Lopez earned her degree in accounting and business management from South Louisiana Community College in 2012, graduating as Outstanding Graduate (2012) after completing high school as valedictorian. She continues to live her belief that growth only stops when curiosity does.

In the community, she is a steadfast supporter of Faith House of Acadiana, volunteers with local schools, and treasures time hunting, fishing, and raising her son.

Looking ahead, Ms. Lopez is determined to make the Mid South companies America's unequivocal, all-inclusive lifeline for safe water—ensuring that when the next disaster strikes, every hospital, every nursing home, and every affected community has immediate, reliable access to the one resource no one can survive without.
